University of Maryland - College Park Reviews

"I am greatly appreciative of the education that I am receiving at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. The curriculum is extremely rigorous, and challenges critical thinking abilities, as well as abilities to work on a team and in inter-professional environments. There are copious opportunities for extracurricular involvement, not just in medical activities, but in research, in the arts, in public health. Baltimore is a unique city in that there are amazing opportunities to learn about socioeconomic determinants of healthcare and fully practice understanding those barriers to care and helping to prepare us to be better physicians. I wouldn't trade my education here for anything!Read Less"

"As a graduate student, internal driving is absolutely critical. Professors and faculties in the department are easy accessible and supportive. On the other hand, financial aid compared with other programs is lesser."

"The couple and family therapy program at University of Maryland is amazing. The amount of support you get from the faculty and cohort members is absolutely unparalleled. The program gives you everything you need to be successful."

"The faculty in this department are very knowledgeable and accessible. The support (both professionally and academically) is superb. However, because the department is dedicated to supporting you financially as you work on your graduate degree, it can be difficult to complete the degree in a timely manner. There is not an external impetus to move quickly through the milestones of the graduate degree. It can be done, however, but that is when the student is internally driven. Learning is constantly happening, so even the delays are not necessarily negative aspects.Read Less"

"Best program ever! The faculty are so supportive!"

"The faculty is very supportive and is very receptive to collaborating with doctoral students. However, funding can be difficult and research opportunities for new students can be limited."

"No place is perfect, but I am very happy with my program and career opportunities. The department I am in also gives a great amount of support to the students."
